Tiana's Introduction



My name is Tiana Brown and I am from Orlando, FL. I was living in Gainesville for the past four years, but I recently moved back to Orlando due to COVID. I am a 4th year African American Studies major with a double minor in innovation and education at the University of Florida. After I graduate, I am undecided if I want to go to UF Law School or to apply for UF Graduate School to pursue my masters. The possible career options I am interested in are becoming a lawyer, teacher, or going into politics, so I plan to either use my major or minor and run with it.

Besides education, I am a part of a family of four, my mom, dad, and brother. I am the only girl so of course, I am spoiled rotten, unfortunately. My mom has always been a really great good and also my dad, but I learned a lot of cooking techniques from my mom. So, naturally, I have taken up the hobby of great cooking. This is one of my favorite hobbies because I am a good seasoner when it comes to preparing dishes. One of my favorite dishes I love to cook is baked stuff salmon, mashed potatoes, and asparagus. Thanks to my mom, my roommate and I survived four years of college eating really well. I can literally make anything, steak, roast beef you name it, I also work at Publix and Publix provides free recipes if you ever wanted to try a new dish. So to really improve my cooking, my roommate and I used to attempt to try and make a new dish twice a month. This provided us time to bond and also learned new things.

Another hobby I’ve taken up is learning how to professionally install wigs. I used to pay almost $150 for the install to last less than a month. So, I started watching Youtube, and learned the techniques for myself, brought the products, and mastered my craft. This hobby was one that was for the books. Besides working at Publix, this became my extra side hustle when I didn’t have the energy to go to work. Plus I saved $150 a month on hairstyles and I was able to have more money to do things centered around my mental health and self-care rather than wasting money on something not even worth it.

Module 5: Mandala Meditation

  I decided to create my own mandala. I watched the video and I found it quite difficult at first because technology is so hard to maneuver sometimes. As time went by, the process became more and more interesting especially with the use of different shapes and colors because the colors I chose are literally my moods, the shapes were random, but they fit in my vision is that makes sense. During the creation of my mandala, I picked mostly bright colors because I am almost always in a really good mood. I tried if you zoom out to create a sun shape in my mandala because I usually brighten up another people’s day. The darker colors were for those days we have when we feel gloomy and not ourselves. I did not really have any difficulties except in the beginning when starting, but 5 minutes in I eventually got the hang of what I was doing and the vision I would like to create. My exact thoughts when creating this was, I wanted it to be pretty but also represent me as a person, it represe...
